As Phillip Schofield lays his 'extraordinary loyal' mother Pat to rest, friends tell how she became his rock after his TV downfall, reveals KATIE HIND


On the back of the order of service for her funeral was a photo of Phillip Schofield's mum. She is beaming with happiness in a picture taken on her wedding day in the late 1950s.

On Friday, as Pat was laid to rest at her local church, St Michael’s in Newquay, Cornwall, mourners will have reflected on the unhappy fates of those two sons, who had lost their father in 2008 to a heart attack. With years still to serve after his criminal conviction last April for child sex offences, it appeared he was not granted any special dispensation to attend the funeral. Below the words of the song on the order of service was another photo of Pat and her husband (who worked with a firm that made surfboards), taken just a few years before Brian’s death from a long-standing illness.
